Mail call! ~ Pink Paislee

Hi everyone~I have been in a panic for three days.  My desk top has been without Internet.  All my programs and files are on it but tonight my sis-in-law came over and what I was to scared to do she did and she got me going again ~ I definitely owe her a lunch!

This is the last of the Pink Paislee/Hometown Summer.  I usually don't scrapbook like this but I enjoyed it very much.

I loved all the borders that came with this set.  I have some junkin' stuff from a few weeks ago I thought I would share also~

This tin was packed full of buttons and stuff~the vendor had $7 and I offered $5:):)he accepted my offer:):)

This is an old brass cattle tag.  I'm going to clean it up and put a shine on it.  Be lookin' for it ~ it will show up some where:):

Pink Paislee ~ yellow and black!

Hi~I have another Pink Paislee/ Hometown Summer layout to share with you. One of my favorite color combinations is black and yellow with a splash of orange.  It is just fabulous every time.

To get lines, for my journaling, I used a stamp by Wendy Vecchi ~ just love it!  It is that stamp that is great to have in your collection, comes in handy so many times.  It even looks great to use, as embellishing the cardstock. Super fun and speaking of fun, hope you come back on Friday I have a fun {awesome} giveaway going on for followers of Crafty Goodies!!! Hope you will check it out!!!

Try It Tuesday ~ Kraft Stencil papers & junkin'!

This is the last of the layouts that I did, a couple months ago, over on Jenni Bowlin.  It was a weekend crop and it was so fun!! I love getting in the zone { scrapbooking zone}!!!:):)  I used Wren and the Kraft stencil papers.  You can cut them up, use them as a stencil, put paper under the stencil { that is really cool}~so many ideas!! Very clever product:):):)

*******************************************************************

Alert: Junkin' {local} in an old movie theater~so cool and so small from today's movie theaters~ I also got the good deal. Always lovin' that!

I had this Standard stamp holder and it was all stretched out~ kinda of ugly that way, but hubby fixed it and it was already to hold the  three wooden handle stamps { that I bought for $3} at the movie theater.

I got two of these, this is the best one~

So very cool and they work!!!!

Thanks for stopping in today, and have a great day!!!!!

Boys and trucks~

Hi everyone~I'm back home, had a birthday and I baked a small cake ( I never bake). Hubby was really happy!!!!  This is one of the layouts I did for the Jenni Bowlin crop a few months ago.  I love these papers, especially the one with the trucks on them.  I had one little piece and added it in.  Boys and trucks just go together.  This line is called Magpie!!

Also love using the labels for color and added interest.  The sage green isn't bad either ~ my favorite color, so it is a win win for me:):):)

***************************************************************

Have a great day and I'll see you for Try It Tuesday!!!

Melon waters ~Pink Paislee!!!

Hi everyone~here is another Pink Paislee layout!!!  I love the brightness

of the papers and loved the watermelons on this!!

It was perfect for the story of these pictures.

  We carried watermelons from Texas to Indiana for these two kids. They call them "melon waters" and they love them.

The sticker was on the melon so I made an award badge out of it~
